Las Vegas is a fantastic venue. Staying on the Las Vegas strip is a great experience and the tournament is unique because it is split over three days rather than two.

We're in a group with USA, Samoa and Chile so the stage is set for another competitive tournament for us!

Of course, Vegas is the home of gambling. However, we don't normally 'gamble' as such but make decisions which are often right or wrong- 50/50!

But the biggest gamble I’ve taken on the pitch was probably in 2015. 15 minutes into a 20-minute final in Tokyo, we got a penalty five metres out from our line. I tapped and went which was a massive risk but it paid off and we managed to score the try!
